True Believers can kick up to hold the lead from the rails draw with Most Women Are also pushing forward. CORCEL VOLAR was a big improver at his second career start when a 1.8L second at Gawler. Should be improved again with experience and the blinkers go on for the first time so that could him a lift. CORCEL VOLAR was slow off and made ground in the city on debut and then placed at Gawler as favourite. The blinkers go on the Stokes galloper and he can be winning this. MOST WOMEN ARE keeps improving and the near miss two back reads well. Looks the danger up to the mile. KELOWNA didn’t do much on debut in the city but expect the McEvoy galloper to have come on.
SUGGESTED PLAY: Win bet Corcel Volar off a good placing last time out.
